Flashing the original firmware via Odin does not factory reset the phone (unless specifically stated in the thread containing the files). It just overwrites the bootloader (depending on the firmware and phone), recovery, system, modem, etc.

Hi
How to re install my S2 with Jelly bean . Planning to install Kitkat in my S2 can you help with any good Download and install links. Its good to install ??? please suggest Thank you .. I will check your website

I'm confused on your goal. You want to install Jelly Bean or Kit Kat? There was no official Kit Kat for your phone, so it will have to be something custom like CyanogenMod, SlimKat, etc.
The latest official firmware for your phone would be here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100 - Just make sure to get the one for your region.

[Q] SGS II Not showing as rooted?? ICS issue?

Hi Guys
first things first - i am really new to android development so apologies if i am not making any sense...
Device
I have a Samsung Galaxy 2 in the UK on o2
background
I wanted to play with new roms so i rooted the phone and downloaded clockwork rom manager, but could never get it to work, it would always come up with an error screen when i tried to flash a rom using it or ender recovery mode using it.
i used Odin and that works, so after a brief, accidental stint on a US At&T rom that (obviously) didnt work i downloded lite'ning rom and installed it. and that worked fine.
current problem
I recently downloaded an ICS Samsung rom and have installed it using Odin, apart from the occasional glitch it works fine, i cant seem to screenshot so the details are below
Model
GT-19100
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband version
19100XXLPB
Kernel Version
3.0.15-19100XXLPB-CL99600

i wanted to flash Resurrection Remix ICS ROM v9.6 for Galaxy S2 i9100 but when i go into CWM it is saying i am not rooted, so i ran DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit but is still showing as non-rooted
it seems like my phone isnt allowing the installation of Busybox etc.. on the device, it's saying the folders are read only?
i have the correct drivers, and have selected USB debugging and unknown sources.
any help gratefully received.
many thanks
David

zergRush isn't for ICS ROMs. You just need CF-root flashed from Odin.
did u try to flash cf root in odin??

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER.zip ***
download this,unzip,put in odin in pda and flash it.
think this will help
this appears to have worked! - will try to flash Resurrection Remix ICS ROM v9.6 and feedback
thanks!
flash worked fine - all seems good.
Apart from some of my previously downloaded apps are not showing up in the 'my apps' section of the google play store for re-download.
any ideas why this might be? - incompatible with ICS maybe?
thanks all

[Q] stuck on samsung s3 i9300 logo

Hi everyone,
I am having issues with my Samsung S3 i9300. I rooted the phone while using ICS OS, then updated to jelly bean today, via official update. Then unfortunately tried to install chainfire 3D and my phone is now stuck on the samsung sIII i9300 logo.
I have tried to wipe all the data by using volume up + home + power, but still no success.
Furthermore, I was trying to do a fresh install from a downloaded stock firmware from samsung website, but I do not know the exact model number/code for my device as I really did not pay attention before. How can I check the firmware version if the phone does not start?
Please really need your help, as I am new to android and Samsung S3 and I am stuck.
Please any other suggestions?? I have not made any backup (neither with CWM) of the phone, but it does not matter, phone was almost clean.
Thanks in advance!!
Flash a .pda file with Odin.

Any firmware version will work?
Will the firmware version on that link work on my device?
Are there any other special procedures to flash the firmware of my phone (besides the instructions on that link) that I need to be aware of, or just by using the pda with Odin it will work fine? Since my phone was already rooted and so on....
thanks
Might be a kernel so just flash something new.

if its 4.1.2 stock firmware than it doesn't need factory reset, but i have seen some users having a boot loop while doing so and to remove the boot loop issue they have to factory reset and wipe cache partition. it would be better if u backup everything before you do this(recommended)..
Backup evrythng using titanium backup or a similar app and restore the data after flashing the 4.3 rom..

Kies will have the 4.3 update when it is released for your phone .

The firmware hasn't been released yet for all carriers in all regions.
You could download it and flash it, thought.

Normally upgrade to a higher version should retain user data, apps & contacts. few weeks before i upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.3 without loosing anything. But always backup the required data is suggested.

One word of advice: the i9300 4.3 update is VERY laggy and full of battery drain bugs. I would remain on 4.1.2 if I were you until Samsung releases a refreshed S3 update.
This is why the update may not be available through Kies, they pulled it as soon as UK users started complaining.

Person who wishes he never pressed "install" on the 4.3 OTA...

1) Go there : http://www.samsungis.com/Firmwares/GT-S7560.html
2) Then search for your REGION CODE , and download the firmware.zip
3) Make, a backup of your data, then go to recovery and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik, battery stats.
3) After, use Odin3 to flash your stock rom (select PDA in program) , but make sure you have installed Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones (just google it)
4) At first boot, you will see the configuration manager.
Hope you understeand what I say, but REMEMBER : I AM NOT RESPONSABLE OF ANY DAMAGE OF YOUR PHONE !!!
It does not have gb.

looking on wikipedia that phone came with ice cream sandwhich 4.0.4 so if it never came with gingerbread you wont be able to put it on there as the firmware doesnt exist - also you want to run at least android 4+ for most modern apps to work - so you really want the latest firmware you can get
all offical firmware for that phone can be found
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ - type in the search box GT-S7560 where is says search device here (not the search box at top of page)

The device is already rooted, you just need to download any custom ROM you want, reboot to recovery, and flash your desired ROM from there.

first of all thanks for your answer.
If I understand properly
therefore, I'll have not any problem because of 4.4.4
that is correct ?
Yes, that is correct. The device is already rooted, with custom recovery, which means you can just reboot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash any desired ROM you want.
@@[email protected]........No disrespect intended, but this is "flashing 101" basics stuff........
The fact that you are asking it, tells me that you don't have the experience needed to do this comfortably.....
That's not a problem though.....we all start from the bottom, and learn as we go.....
But that being the case, i'd advise that you don't do anything to your phone until you've read, learnt and completely understood the processes behind the flashing procedure. It's best to understand what you are doing beforehand, rather than trying to figure out what went wrong afterwards.......
